Factors that favour the growth of natural forests on the slope of mount in Kenya are;The area receives high rainfall throughout the year that provides water for growth of trees.The area has cool climate/ moderate temperature that support a wide variety of tree species.The area has deep/rich volcanic soils that provide proper anchorage/nutrients to support trees.The area is protected government zone/gazette forest that prevents human encroachment allowing trees to grow without interference.The area has steep slopes that discourage agriculture hence growth of trees flourish.
Physical factors that influenced the location of MweaTeberre irrigation scheme are;Perennial rivers; Thiba, Nyamindi and Murubara that provided adequate water for irrigation.The Mwea plains have black cotton soils, with high water retention capacity, that are suitable for rice farming/growing.The area around Mwea experienced low, unreliable and poorly distributed rainfall hence not suitable for rain fed agriculture thus need for irrigation.Presence of loamy soils ensured cultivation of other crops to support families settle.Presence of gently sloping land which made it possible for irrigation farming.
Kenya benefits from development of seven forks Hydroelectric are;Government earns some income/revenue from electricity feesThe scheme generates electricity which is used for industrial/domestic purposesDams have modified the local climate and vegetationThe projects provides sites that are tourist attractionIt has led to control of floods in the lower parts of river Tana enabling people to make use of the valleyThe project has created reservoirs which provide fishing groundsSome of the dams provide water for irrigation purposes
Factors that determine magnitude of e.m.f in a coil are;The speed of rotation of the coilNumber of turns in the coilThe strength of the magnetic field
Factors that can affect digestibility of a feedstuff in livestock are;Chemical composition of the feed e.g % of lignin or cellulose will influence digestibility.The quantity of feed already present in the digestive system of an animal.The species of the animal eg the digestibility of grass is higher in sheep than in pigs.The ratio of energy to protein will affect digestibility. The higher the ratio the lower the digestibility.
